xpg 2 and 1/2 in SATA 3 6 gbit per second solo state drive this is their SX 900 this is a 128 gig SSD and that is exceptional for I don't have my keys on me that's okay I'll figure this out that is exceptional for one major reason and that is that this is a sand Forest drive so if you guys are familiar with sand Force drives already aha here we go I found a razor blade so if you guys are familiar with sand Force drives you probably know that they don't really come in 64 gig 128 gig and 256 gig capacities usually they come in 60 gig 120 gig and 240 gig capacities and the reason for that is that San Force drives have spare area so that capacity is on there Nan chips only come in certain C denominations of capacity that usually add up to you know 16 32 64 128 these are these are the natural capacities however a data oh right so sand Force drives usually have that area tucked away for a couple of reasons one is better performance over time so it gives it somewhere to swap data out to that's not really part of the The Logical partition that you have on the drive so it can speed things up a little bit and then number two is for better reliability because if Flash or if any of the cells die anywhere else on the SSD it can actually start to borrow from that spare area to increase the longevity of the drive so what ad had to do to release a 128 gig sandforce SSD was they had to use a higher quality of Bend nand so that gives you the well the extra reliability that you would need in order to not have any spare area so they've ped up with a three-year warranty they've got uh what else do they have on here sand Forest driven shock resistant it better be trim support it better have it acronis true image HD that's kind of cool to have so okay Norton Internet Security is
